Think YOU had a bad day? Check mine!

Ok, so I'm supposed to start my new job today. I'm all excited and have my alarm set...I'm ready to get going! I wake up at just a little after midnight last night (this morn) and tried to go back to sleep. After 4 hours I gave up and since I had to get up early, I decided it was best not to take any extra sleep meds, and risk not waking up or being drowsy.

So, I get up a bit early, get in the shower, get myself all purty; hair, makeup, outfit, and actually made it out the door early. Granted, I couldn't find my glasses (or my contacts for that matter!) so I'm driving down the road actually wearing my big, red-rimmed glasses from 1985, uuugggghhh!!!!!!!! Believe me, I took those off before going in!

It starts raining real bad on the way to town, and of course, I forgot the umbrella I JUST BOUGHT WHEN IT RAINED TWO DAYS AGO!!!!!! Sheesh! Anywhoo. I get to work, run inside, and I'm dripping when I get in. But I made it! Yahoo!!!!! Went to where I was supposed to be and hmm, no one else is here for orientation class? After waiting 15 mins. a manager comes up and asks if he can help. I tell him, and he says, "Oh, yeah, orientation was rescheduled for next Tuesday." WHAT! Crap, you're kidding me right! I just drove 30 miles, in the pouring rain, round trip for nothing!?! Ok, fine! Fine!

So I run out to the car, (in the pouring rain, AGAIN!) and I'm completely soaked by now. So much for my clean outfit! I decided to go ahead and get my daughter's prescription. I'm sitting outside of the pharmacy, thinking, "Hmm, all the lights are off? I wonder if they open at 10?" I don't want to get out in the rain for no reason, so I wait. 10 comes and goes, nothing. So I get out in the "pouring rain" and get to the door, it's locked. Apparently all the lights went out downtown and all the business closed up until they come back on. See this is the problem with having computers run everything. Remember the good old days when goods, and services were written up on receipts? Yeah, well now they just shut down! Back to the car...in the rain...Driving home, it's so bad I can barely see out the windshield, but I manage to get my butt home. I noticed that my gravel driveway is out in the middle of the road...hmmm... I gotta open the gate, splash! right in about 6 inches of muddy water...remember the clean outfit? Yeah...by the time I get in the house, my socks are soaked through, and I can barely get my pants off. I'm gonna hop in the shower just to wash my body off, and when I open the bathroom door, splash!!! I've got a flood in my bathroom all the way to my carpet in my bedroom. Yeah, nice huh!?!

Seems either the rain caused a flood or the toilet just decided to flood, I dunno, but either way, I've got poo-water all over my bathroom. Which wouldn't in and of itself be that bad, but my bathroom is big, and I don't have a storage closet, so guess where all my boxes of extra stuff is at? Yep, that's right. And they're allllllll wet! So four hours later.....that's right, 4 HOURS! I've managed to get it cleaned up enough to move around again.

Needless to say, I had to take a full shower, again! I hurt and I'm tired! So now I've taken the REST OF THE DAY OFF!!!!! Hubby said not to worry about dinner and I'm not! There's leftovers, and I'm crashing early. I'm exhausted!

Why does the toilet always do that at the worst times? Ugh!!!!!!! I hope tomorrow's better!

Grace, I have to apologize to you, but I couldn't help but laugh. I know, I know, it was NOT funny to you...but this is the sort of thing that happens to someone in a comedy, not real life, you know? I wonder if you could sell the story for a sitcom? Have something good come out of it.

Sorry it was such a bad day for you...but you tell the story with such humor!
HIGH 5 TO YA GIRLFRIEND!

Your story was inspiring to me in a strange way
because you were so humorous about it. If it were me, I'd still be crying! I wish I were more like you. You're one of those people we all need around us.
